(Continued from Chapter Twelve...)
Boss and Hamtaro cautiosly turned around and saw the Bad Hams looking directly at them. It seemed the two were up against the wall. "What are you doing here?" Mike asked. "To save Mother's Day and Mrs. Montgomery," Hamtaro retorted. Mrs. Montgomery was behind the Bad Hams just staring. Boss signaled her to go back to the clubhouse (one hard sign in ASL), but she didn't want to go. Finally she ran out the door.
The Bad Hams were about to go after Mrs. Montgomery, but Stella told them to stay. "It's not worth it," she told them. "We've already got our prey." Boss looked down at his shovel again. "Dern, I'm so used to carrying this thing around, I don't even realize I have it," he muttered. Boss brought it to his face and said, "Dear Mother gave this to me before...she died." "So that's how you got it," Mike retorted. Hamtaro nudged him and said, "You're not supposed to tell them anything, Boss!" "Oops," he remarked.
Mike finally snapped his fingers and the Bad Hams jumped on top of the two. From under the weight, Hamtaro and Boss heard a war whoop. Soon, they felt the weight remove itself and they were seeing Caitlin, Oxnard, and Mrs. Montgomery. Boss helped Hamtaro up and the two ran. When they did, they knew that Mike and Stella were following them.
When they got out of the back door, which was on top of the tree, Boss and Hamtaro stopped to rest. At which instant, Mike and Stella appeared. (Man, sometimes I think their psycos of something!) "Why the heck do you wanna ruin Mother's Day?" Boss inquired. "Why are you concerned?" Stella returned. "You don't even have a mom!"
That remark enraged Boss. "Escuse me," he retorted angrily, "I do have Dear Mother! She's my first and only mother! If you're so good, why aren't you visiting yours?" Stella stopped dead. "I hated my mother," Mike returned sharply. "I don't even care."
Stella turned around and started shaking violently. "Stella?" Mike queried and looked at her. "What's wrong, Stella?" Stella was forming tears in her eyes as she had a flashback.
*FLASHBACK*
"Be gone with you!" Stella's mother said as she threw her out of the house. "I never want to see your face again!"
